It was noted before that WWE didn't plan on stripping Daniel Bryan of the WWE World Heavyweight Title unless he was going to be out for a while. With Bryan already being advertised for June live events, that's an indication that WWE expects him back sooner and him dropping the title at Payback is unlikely.

Regarding the angle with Brie Bella potentially being fired, Renee Young asked Bryan what he would do on the RAW post-show this week and Bryan just said it was a tough decision but he's going to have to do what's right.
